Actually udisks doesn't automatically mount anything - the way it works is that the desktop session is responsible for deciding if a mountable filesystem is to be automatically mounted. It sounds really easy to do this but experience has shown that you need to be very careful. Anyway, for GNOME, Nautilus is in charge of that. Nautilus basically, on startup and when a new GVolume is announced, just checks the result of g_volume_should_automount(), http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/GVolume.html#g-volume-should-automount which is set by the GVolumeMonitor in charge (which in this case is the gnome-disk-utility volume monitor) and, if TRUE, calls g_volume_mount(). So we need to look at the volume monitor to find the answer. It's here: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gvfs/tree/monitor/gdu/ggduvolume.c?id=1.5.5#n356 As you can see this involves looking at the udisks properties DevicePresentationNopolicy and DriveConnectionInterface. See http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/udisks/Device.html for more details. It also involves setting should_automount to FALSE for GVolume objects for mountable filesystem that appear much later than the GDrive that contains them - this is to void automounting a filesystem just created via fdisk(1) or parted(1) from the command line. Of course for a fixed function device, rather than a generic OS, you don't have to be that careful because you know e.g. that there is never going to be a multi-initiator SAN with 1000 disks connected to it.
